Many Moons Ago is an audio piece that reflects on oral storytelling traditions using a family weredonkey story as a starting point. The story, told many times, was transformed along the way, shapeshifting according to each narrator’s will.
In this piece, the artist weaves the voices of her family members with her own, materialising it into an intergenerational narrative. A new collaborative version of the story, containing pieces of each narrators perspective, is created. Not in order to be a definitive version, but to inspire and evoque the fluidity and magic of oral storytelling.

Produced by Social Broadcasts (UK 2026)

This XMTR Radio Hour features Tom’s House an audio drama created by British born - Amsterdam based artist Jacob Dwyer. After a short interview with Jacob, we enter Tom’s House with the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.

The Limbotopia Workshop presents... The Widow

Pete Hazell (UK 2026)
3mins
This was made as a promotional micro-drama for the album "Walk With The Militia" by Damos Room (Limbo Tapes 2026).
Inspired by the artist's world-building lore about a Horse Militia, and the title of the last track "Widows" I made this for their show on Radio Al Hara in celebration of the release.
It features the cloned voices of David McCallum, Georgia Ellis, William Conrad and Dick Bentley. In the debate about voice cloning technologies, I offer this in memory and admiration of those actors no longer with us, and the era of audio that they starred in.

Kreuzkölln
Samuel Robinson (UK 2026)
Samuel Robinson (UK 2026)
19mins
Kreuzkölln is a three-part audio drama following a personal and professional entanglement among three people over the course of a year.
Each part moves forward in time and shifts its narrative perspective: first told in the third person, then in the first, and finally in the second person, where the voice turns back on itself. As relationships overlap and shift, people find themselves closer to some, and further from others.
Rather than offering a single account of what happened, the piece presents different interpretations of the same events, shaped by position, responsibility, and emotional exposure. What feels reasonable or careful to one person is experienced as withholding, hurtful, or unfair by another.
Kreuzkölln is not concerned with who is right or wrong, but with how people make sense of situations from within them, and how personal relationships are affected when power, work, and intimacy become difficult to separate.
Written, produced, and edited by Samuel Robinson.
Music composed by Daniel Wilson.
The Narrator is voiced by Samuel Robinson. Franzi is voiced by Allie Cheroutes. Tom is voiced by Brian Stack. Simeon is voiced by Daniel Wilson. Sarah is voiced by Megan Kieldsen.

“Dreaming on antidepressants are... weird. The line between dreaming and memory is blurred, and before I can make sense of which is which, I’m waking up. This piece is one such dream I had recently. Actually, no. It did happen for real. … I think.”

2025 Selects: Marsification: A Tale of Planetary Grief
Lily Sloane (US 2024)

49 min
Today we are being increasingly bombarded by the idea that humanity can and should expand to Mars. Coined in 2020 by the art collective Bureau of Linguistical Reality, the neologism Marsification critiques the idea that we can reset civilization by escaping to “Planet B”.
Marsification: A tale of planetary grief is a concept album audio artwork that unsettles seductive astro-colonial fantasies of leaving a damaged Earth for an uninhabited Mars. These 16 vignettes are designed for individual experiences and community dialogues as we process this interplanetary moment in all of its dissonance. Marsification:
A tale of planetary grief weaves together textured soundscapes, spoken dialogue, satire, hyper pop, whimsy, humor and heartache, non-fiction and science fiction, science and poetry, fantasy and history, with travels into inner and outer space. How can we examine assumptions about the future? And how do we listen properly to the ghosts that haunt the present?

This guided audio trip is an unusual quest through original music, collage, soundscapes, and disembodied voices. The show celebrates radio as a shape-shifting portal to other worlds, a wilderness of its own, and its unique qualities of companionship. Join Pete for this curation and performance of surreal scenes and sonic experiments, using local intrigue and lost histories as the jumping-off point. This was recorded live at the XMTR Audio Arts Festival in St Leonards-On-Sea.
